"whole roasted chicken at your table"
What does 'at your table' mean? Can it be replaced with 'on your table'?
Thanks,

can you provide the rest of the sentence, MTL? It sounds like an ad. for a reaturant, where they "serve a whole roasted chicken at your table"
If this is the case, it would not actually be served on your table, but on a side table placed there for the purpose, so it is served AT your table ('beside')
The prepostion "at" means, amongst other things, presence or occurrence in, ON or near
